Liberals plan to stamp out violent re-offending

Posted on April 12, 2017

Member for Ripon Louise Staley says a future Liberal Government is committed to making Victoria safe again following the release of the State Opposition’s plan to crack down on violent reoffenders by introducing statutory minimum jail terms for criminals who are found guilty of a second offence.

A future Matthew Guy Government will not only direct these at violent gangs, but they will also extend to all areas of our community where violence is prevalent. Domestic violence is a critical area where it is vital to come down heavily on re-offenders who fail to learn from past offending.

This announcement follows the release of a suite of policies aimed at making Victoria safe including announcements on bail, sentencing, police resourcing and youth justice; only the liberals are committed to providing.

State Liberal Leader Matthew Guy said he was committed to making Victoria safe again.
